Hi Bob,

I'm currently thinking about whether something like the "Custom Document
Properties" [1] might be a next step - the UI design pattern might fit
here as well. Mmh ...
Oh ! Yes !!! It seem perfectly adapted, I have a look to code and start
to hack tomorow
Amazing! Just tell if you have any questions related to the UI behavior
or user's needs ...
I think (but I'm not a developer) that the main issue will be to build a
table with entries similar to the current ones (having several controls
stacked in a container that represents a list item). A simple table like
the one for the custom document properties might not work ... to many
information / controls. Or at least I don't know if there is a solution
that will work well nevertheless.
Last week I have a look to CustomProperties classes and it seems a good
base to create a generic control for this sort of UI list.
I can't work on it these days but I will try to propose something in the
begining of may.
At least, we may get rid of the Checkbox, and place the "New Style ..."
below the table (because it is a rather generic control).
If we add an "Apply" button, the checkbox will be usable to momentaly
desactivate a rule.
And (dreaming) one day, we'll be able to provide something like
LivePreview (or Apply behavior) for such dialogs :-)
Yes, but LivePreview should be implemented for all dialogues who change
formats and styles. I think it will be a big work.
In first time, I've added a preview for each style used by rules. It's
allready a progress ;-)
And I will debug refresh ... who is not really perfect ! like you can
see on screen shot below.

Ouch! Doesn't look that nice ... that's true.
It's fixed : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36069
Best regard
